    This did come out to be a darn good chicken lettuce wrap.  Joe was working late so I whipped up a few wraps for myself, added some extra sriracha and went to town with a cold beer. It was really darn...good.

    Method:

    1) Season chicken with salt and pepper and cut into small cubes and cook in an oiled pan until all cooked through. Reserve to a plate.

    2) Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in a bowl of hot water while you cook everything else. or about 15 minutes. Chop mushrooms when they are re hydrated.

    3) In the same pan as the chicken, wipe out clean and scramble eggs. When done, reserve to a plate.

    4) Wipe out the same pan again and drizzle with oil. Saute garlic and ginger for about a minute until it begins to caramelize. Add a plash of rice vinegar and stir through.

      I love these so much! I just had them the other night actually! Whenever I see them on a menu I order them, and I always say that I am going to make them at home, but of course I have not done that yet! Now I will definitely have to try!
